New Delhi: Shashi Tharoor has tested positive for COVID-19.
“After waiting two days for a test appointment and another day & a half for the results, I finally have confirmation: I’m #Covid positive. Hoping to deal with it in a ‘positive’ frame of mind, with rest, steam & plenty of fluids. My sister& 85 year old mother are in the same boat,” Tharoor tweeted.
